Description

The exciting digital collectible game from the creators of the Ascension: Deckbuilding Game and Magic: the Gathering. SolForge is a free-to-play game in which players construct their own decks to challenge their friends or battle against the computer.

The core mechanic in SolForge is leveling. Whenever you play a card, that card levels up into a new, more powerful version. As the game progresses, you gain access to your more powerful higher level cards. Some cards start off weak and level up into powerhouses, while others start off strong and don't improve much as they level, presenting strategic and tactical choices that will challenge even the most seasoned gaming veterans.

I tried to get into it, but the game refuses to let you fight new people. As I am new, why does it only match me against legandarys? Since there is no way a newcomer can win, how do I advance? Why would I spend money not knowing if I'll even like the game.

Fantastic!! There is so much deck customization, crazy amounts of build types. I have over 12decks and I'm always looking at new ways to play! - On the critical side, there have been bugs that they have had to work on, cards don't always pop up under long holds for info, a double tap to see all forms of a card during battle could be nice. No scroll bar for cycling through decks if you have more than the amount visible in the box (8). Love this game, would like to see more options for silver purchases. You used to be able to buy event tickets with it. Also gold purchase tab does not pull up ever... I'm on an ellipsis 8 tablet.

Mobile UI underwhelming It is the same as the PC client. Did not even do the bare minimum of adjusting the size of buttons and text. The home section uses a large portion of available screen to display a picture that doesn't describe the news it links to. Update seems to fail to improve the responsiveness of the app which was the largest factor dragging down its usability.

What happened? I took a six month break from this due to boredom but it was a solid app with a decent interface. However now it's sluggish at best. In game if I long press on a card it doesn't show me the right card so if I haven't memorized them I have no idea what I'm playing. Games are laggy and not fluid. The timer runs out without even showing on screen. Seems to have taken a few steps back from where it was when I stopped playing.

Addicting game Strategy card game. Very customizable and super fun. I think a bit unfair for new users who don't have the power cards. But a much underlooked alternative to other strategy card games. Takes a bit to figure out all the terms and powers etc and the app itself has a few bugs but I highly recommend

Not bad Cards don't have mana/energy requirement, instead you play 2 cards each turn for free, then when they die they are shuffled back into yr deck and become more powerful when you redraw them. Bit dull.

Faulty client and rarity creep ruin an otherwise fantastic game. Longtime Solforger. Absolutely love the game mechanic, very much unlike so many Magic derivatives out there. Currently however, game's being plagued by 2 major things: Client, especially Android, is unstable, prone to self-crashing; and heroic/legendary cards are too obviously better than the less rare cards, and it makes barrier of entry too high. At least the daily rewards are quite generous.

Game mechanics need work. Game lags horribly even on lowest display setting. Poor matching system for PVP. New players matched up with users who have legendary or heroic stats cards. Fun game but the GUI and game mechanics need work.

23/7/16: v7.0.3 An improvement on previous versions however the CX designer should be shot. You should be able to play the game with one finger (i.e. via taps and drags) but now, to see the details about a card, you have to press-and-hold on the card to see partial info, then WITH ANOTHER FINGER you click on the Show More button. Why not just allow card taps? For a new player trying to learn the cards this is a really poor experience. Also, if you are in the Store and you press the Back button, you should go back to main menu ... not exit the game. After nearly 4 years I think it's time to give up. 27 Apr 16: Gave it a 1 year break and just tried to install v6. 0.5.0. There's no indication that after the initial 30MB load, that upon launching the game there is another massive asset load. Blew my data limit. Furthermore the download was interrupted and it couldn't recover. Had to uninstall and will have to try to reinstall again when I have wifi. I don't think that I will bother. I was an original Kickstarter pledger for this game. I really regret it. --- 4 Mar 15: Unplayable after v5.0.8.0 update. Have tried full uninstall and reinstall. Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014.

Everyday Player This the best card battle game ive ever tried. I played for 6 months before I spent $ and only because i wanted to not because I had to. I play with my best friend everyday . There is plenty of challenge but easy enough to pick up quickly. The longer you play the more rewards you get. Thanks Stone Blade Entertainment!

Cmon guys... The game will not even load after the last update. On Galaxy S5 active. Side note, please make some sort of notification system to let players when maintenance will occur and for how long.

Keep On Truckin On For everyone that is "going to hearthstone", please do. Now for some constructive criticism, please put back 1v1 on the same device, my buddy likes to play but doesn't have time to collect the cards, so we use mine to see the different strategies/cards. Also, please put back the random option for deck selection. Lastly, bring back the slide function for abilities (like copying a plant creature type) and to also discard cards (currently have to use 2 hands to discard a card). Great job, awesome game!

Gray Great update! The game works on Android! I haven't had to restart the client yet! Yay! I would love an option to disable expand art on click/touch since I don't want that feature and it makes drafting a LOT longer. Great work getting this working so quickly after the initial release.

Very buggy, Insane cost if a new player, makes your phone into a hot plate. Have you seen the highest IAP price, that should give you an idea how much you'll have to pay if you don't want to be crushed in every match. If you've never play this before, really don't you'll have more fun playing the old MTG game or hearth. Bugs? cards getting stuck on the screen, hiding the oppositions attack, low and glitchy fps, matches getting stuck, your phone will get hot enough to cook an egg though it'll drain your battery before finishing the job.

Yet another free 2 play / pay 2 win Campaign is great. AI starts cheating after a few levels but its challenging so its ok. But once you want to play versus a player instead of computer, you have to buy lots of premium. By lots of premium i mean over $100 at least that you can compete against others... If you really have money to spare, play mtgo at pc. If you dont want to spend that much yet you still want to play, try forge on any playform.

Update made it online only. The new update removed all incentive to play anything but online matches. The single player mode has no more random matches and really no reason to play. I played every day before the update, now I'm uninstalling it.

Terrible I went to open an account and says email already in use so i created a whole new email just for yhe game and that also says its already in use... how can this be its a brand new email account this sucks

New client plain doesn't work After I updated, the first thing that happened was the icon for the game completely disappeared. I cannot find it on my home screen or my app list. I had to open it from the app store. Once I finally got it open, I was immediately told that it could not connect and that my client was out of date. Right after updating it to the new version. I ran into bugs before this new client and was hoping this would fix it. Nope.

The app has not worked once since the last update and still hasn't been fixed. Totally bummed because the game is fun but ruined by a development team that can't seem to maintain a stable operating platform. If Stone Blade doesn't care enough to keep the app running, then perhaps it's time for the loyal users to move on. :( Downloading Blizzard's Hearthstone app now. Endless hours of entertaining gameplay when the app functions properly. Updates typically introduce bugs and require the app to be uninstalled and re-loaded. (Don't forget your login)

Game doesn't load. Been using my Galaxy Core to play without issues for over a year now. This latest update simply puts me on the loading screen which goes from failed to connect, connecting, then to Done but never does anything else even after waiting 20 minute. The app isn't frozen or slowing down either, nor is my phone locking up or slowing down. Thanks for releasing a broken 1.0.

I like the game, but the new update just doesn't work. The android version gets as far as connecting, 'linking cards' and then displays 'Done' and a spinning circle, forever. The Steam version for PC doesn't connect at all. If the app gets fixed so that it actually works, it'll be worth trying.
